As the saying goes: correlation is not causation OTOH prediction doesn't necessarily reflect causation either, but prediction is what JEPA is about, how our brain/intelligence works, and one of the great confirmations of LLMs is how powerful prediction errors are as a learning signal. JEPA appears a step in the right direction of trying to build a brain rather than a language model - to use prediction the way the brain uses it to predict the future (not an historical frozen training set), and learn a real world model of how the world behaves. Any JEPA implementations I've read about use a…
